Rain barrel is very sturdy and aatractive.  Love the flat back so it sets against my shed wall to accept my drains from the roof.  Haven't set it up yet since I live in the north, but can't wait till spring to use it.  Have used rain barrels for years made out of recycled plastic barrels that weren't this attractive.  I hope to purchase another one in the spring.  Buy one you are sure to love it.
